"The key to the method...is in the relationship between the detail in the image and the memories and their associated emotions that the detail awakens in the viewer" (Ulmer, Internet Invention, p44).

	"'But a thousand other impressions coexisted with them there. Did this particular cluster constitute what we have called an atome crochu? Had it, in other words, hooks-and-eyes which might draw it into the extraordinary complex which was taking form? ...Clearly then there were sufficient links between the images from Purchas which were sinking into the Well, and the images from Bartram which were already there. And they did coalesce'" (Ulmer on Lowes, Internet Invention, p36-37).
These "hooks-and-eyes" represent the elements captured by my psyche that are entered into a repository of interpreted (both affected and influential) images which mix and mingle, creating relationships from which new images and theories are born. I admit these images and theories to be the products of seemingly strange relationships. They are, nonetheless the product of my "interpellated" being - that which draws upon the sociological and psychological interpretations of culture and society by my essence or soul.

I've decided to put a spin on Ulmer's method by incorporating a bit of "fiction" to my story. It will not be purely autobiographical in the traditional sense. However, because fiction writers are known to infuse themselves in their work it is logical to assume that the images, thoughts, and feelings present in one's own literature are self-expressions of another kind. Some of this will represent fantasy and some of it will represent fear. Sequence is irrelevant. Ulmer says that by exploring our histories and interests and linking them to images one is closer to finding his (or her) image of wide scope.

I've got this feeling that if I reach into the historical experiences of my heroes and heroines I'll find a wealth of connective information that could uncover common interests, passions, and choices.
